Just for Fun: MAC Courting Lilac + Gone Romancin’

I think these two worked together really well, because they complement each other without overwhelming the other. The most surprising part about this combination is how the gold sheen from Courting Lilac still peeks through despite the more opaque Gone Romancin’ dazzleglass creme.

I have full fuchsia, I didn’t get a Dazzleglass Creme, but I want radiant jewels, but every time I stop by Mac to get it I change my mind, do you think this combo will work? and do you recommend I get radiant jewels? what Dazzleglass Creme would you recommend, the lipsticks I have from the collection are full fuchsia, deepest wish and cut a caper

I am so glad you posted this! I was at the MAC counter in Macys about a week ago and the SA there was wearing this combo and she recommended it to me and I love it! It is beautiful and you wear these colors well! I am glad she told me about it. That and Cut-A-Caper. I wasn’t planning to get anything from this collection but of everything I saw, these three items were my favorites!Thanks Christine!

I would be sooo happy if this combo looked similar on me. For some reason, Courting Lilac (and most purply colors like Aristocat, Purple Rite, etc) do not look purply on me…they look like some weird dark bronze color. I’ve even tried using them under or over more pinky colored lipsticks and with light pink/purple lipglasses over them. So I’m not sure how to fix the problem on me. But I’m pretty pale and cool toned with medium pigmented lips.

Hey Christine…I got Courting Lilac but apparently in any light other than at MAC, it makes me look ill, almost corpse-like. I’m cool-toned, lots of pink in my cheeks with medium gold blond hair. Is it just not meant to be between me and Courting Lilac or is there something I can layer it with? (for the record, I also got Cut a Caper and it looks awesome with Dainty on the cheeks–so thank you for that!)

Very nice! I’ve already got Courting lilac, love it! But I didn’t take Romancin’ in the same time, I wasn’t decided because of my Nico lipglass…. But now, maybe this time….
What do you think about the Nico lipglass instead of the Romancin’ dazzleglass, to pair with the Courting lilac lipstick ?
Thanks

Hmm, you could try patting on concealer or foundation on the lip, or you could use a lip liner in a more neutral tone to try to mute your natural pigmentation. Part of me wants to say try green concealer… if only because green cancels out red!

I bought these two with the intent of wearing them together, and also Full Fuchsia and Radiant Jewels for the same thing. These lilac colours are gorgeous, I think they are probably my fave lip colours EVER so far. They seem to compliment my skin tone really well. I’d never have tried them if I hadn’t seen your swatches so thanks Christine! xx
